About this property
Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club
Welcome to “Fish N’ Chips”!
A beautifully updated, charming 4 BR cedar shake beach home in the Summers Crescent neighborhood of Cape Fear Station near East Beach. Sleeps up to 6 adults, 2 children (2 King beds, 1 Queen bed, Twin bunk). One 6 seater golf cart. Less than 2 minutes by golf cart to the favored East beach. Renovated in early 2022 - new furniture, new paint, new hardwood floors in all bedrooms, and quartz countertops throughout.
Bright and airy reverse floor plan with vaulted ceilings over a spacious kitchen, sunny eating area, and living room. Two king bedrooms and two full bathrooms, as well as a kids’ bunk room with twin bunkbed, are located in the main house.
The lower level king bedroom adjoins the bunk room through a sliding barn door, perfect for families with children. It has an en suite full bath with walk-in shower.
The upper level king bedroom is adjacent to a full bath with shower over tub.
Off the large side deck is a boardwalk to a quaint, private guest cottage with queen bed, full bathroom, TV and mini-fridge/Keurig.
There is a full-sized laundry room in the main house. You can enjoy sitting out on the private side or front deck, listening to the sounds of the ocean. There is a charcoal grill on the deck for evening cookouts.
One 6-seater golf cart, surfboard and stand up paddle board are available for your use. There are a few bicycles that are in "as is" condition. Guests are welcome to use the bicycles we have, or can choose to rent their own on the island from one of the rental shops.
Around the back of the home is a spacious outdoor shower. Beach towels and chairs are provided. Our home is just a 2 minute walk to the Turtle Conservancy, Mike’s Bites and the community park. Ocean-front Shoals Club guest memberships are available for purchase. Shoals Club pools, restaurants, fitness center, and beach accesses are just a 1 minute golf cart ride away!
Fish N’ Chips is a no-pets and no-smoking home. We also own “Not On Call”, a quaint, two BR cottage located a few homes down on the same street from “Fish N’ Chips” - perfect if you are looking for a nearby home for friends or family.
BHI also offers historical tours, kayak rentals, bicycle rentals, guided fishing trips, turtle conservancy, nature trails, shopping, crabbing, etc. So much to enjoy, whether visiting in the midst of summer or in the off-season.
PLEASE NOTE- Hurricane Policy: If the local Government orders a mandatory evacuation for Bald Head Island AND you don’t stay at our home, you will receive a full refund for the nights the evacuation order is in place. This does not pertain to voluntary evacuations, a situation where travel insurance is certainly beneficial.
If our home becomes uninhabitable for any reason (fire, wind, flood), and we need to cancel, you will receive a full refund for unused days of your stay.
Because of the current pandemic, and because unexpected situations can arise (health, work, date conflicts, etc), we recommend protecting your investment and vacation by purchasing travel insurance.
The links below are just one option provided through Vrbo. Please read the details carefully before selecting which insurance is best for you – policies vary in the coverage related to COVID-19.
Camera disclosure: BHI is a special community often described as “going back in time” – while it is a very safe and friendly community, theft can still occur. PLEASE NOTE - in an effort to keep our home protected, we have an outdoor security system. There are three clearly visible exterior cameras located at entry points to the cottage - front door garage, and back porch.
No pet policy violation: We have opted to keep our home pet-free for a variety of reasons, and maintain a strict no-pet policy. Please note that under North Carolina Law, Emotional Support Animals are not exempt from the no-pet policy. Bringing an unauthorized pet to the cottage will incur a $500 fee and, per VrBO policy, your booking can be cancelled without refund.

A lovely place with everything we needed. The beds were luxurious and so comfortable!The separate cottage is a great feature for grandparents or a sitter. Highly recommend!
Fish N Chips was absolutely perfect for our long weekend. Incredibly clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, well-organized, great layout, great location. It was our first time on BHI and Chrissie was so communicative and helpful as we prepped and arrived on island. We’ll be back!

We enjoyed hosting you on your first visit to BHI. We’d love to have you back!
Our family of four had an absolutely perfect stay at Fish N Chips cottage over the Thanksgiving holiday. Everything about the home was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was wonderful, and the cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing family trip.The host was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had, which made the entire experience even better. We truly couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more enjoyable stay.We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend Fish N Chips to anyone visiting Bald Head Island!
Beautiful home right near East Beach. Quiet, clean and comfortable, especially the beds. After years of summer trips, you come to learn there are 2 types of owners: the people who simply rent out their houses, and the true hosts who offer a little extra. These folks are the latter. Thanks for a great stay.
This was our 2nd trip to Bald Head. The island is beautiful, it has enough outside of the ocean to keep the kids entertained, and the beaches are beautiful. We really liked staying near East Beach where the kids surfed daily. The house was perfectly kept and came exactly as advertised. I recommend it highly.
Immaculately decorated property in wonderful location near conservatory and east beach. Our first time on Bald Head and host was available and answered all our questions.
This house was well appointed and very comfortable home in a great location. Also the manager was kind enough to send me lots of details to plan out our trip as this was the first time visit for us!
The home is charming, clean and updated - a nice spacious kitchen with all the necessities and is comfortable for sleeping - owner is wonderful with communication and helpful with any needs that you may require.
We were thrilled with the time spent at Fish and Chips. The house was perfect for our crew of 8. The location was PERFECT for those wanting to spend their time at East Beach. Communication with the owner was stellar from the start! Thanks for a great vacation stay!

Thank you Janet! It was a pleasure to host your family! We’d love to have you back again.
Fish & Chips was perfect for our trip with family. The teen in our group loved staying in the crofter, and the twin bunk room off of the downstairs bedroom was perfect for a toddler. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and everything in the home was well-maintained. Plenty of beach towels for our family of 6 the beach chairs, toys, golf cart, and surfboard were in excellent condition. The property manager was super responsive and friendly - very easy to work. Beds were so comfortable, my husband took a picture of the tag to order for home! You won't be disappointed with this home for your BHI vacation!
This property is beautiful and well appointed - a very comfortable stay... many amenities that serve the needs and requirements of a family. The owner is caring of your comfort, friendly, highly responsive and quick to take action if needed.
We loved our stay at Fish ‘n chips! Our family had a lovely time exploring BHI from the great location near the Shoals Club, South Beach, and the BHI Conservancy. The home was bright, clean, and had everything we needed - and then some. Thank you for a perfect week!
Our family and friends truly had a wonderful week on BHI staying at Fish N' Chips. Chrissie and family have provided the perfect setting to enjoy BHI's beauty. We have been to BHI approximately 8 times and #4 Sumner's Crescent is one of our favorite locations. We look forward to our next trip!
Would strongly recommend a stay here for anyone gathering at bald head island. Three big nice rooms. Even a small bunk room. Kitchen was well appointed, showers worked great, AC was strong!
First time staying at cape fear station neighborhood on BHI. We loved it. Clean, cozy, well decorated. Great and well-maintained amenities. Bikes, paddleboard, surf board, plenty of beach chairs. Nice home away from home.

We enjoyed hosting your family - we’d love to have you back again!
We had a great stay at Fish N Chips. I especially loved all the linens and comfortable furniture. The house was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. Loved having the laundry room just off the entry. The cottage was perfect also. Chrissy was easy to work with. Loved the location too.
We had a wonderful stay at Fish'n Chips. We love this location on the island. The house itself was excellent: very clean, comfortable bed and high quality sheets. Chrissie was very responsive. They had everything we needed--bikes, beach chairs, etc.
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at Fish n Chips! The property is beautiful! Modern and clean with every convenience. It was our first time staying at that end of the island and we loved how close it was to shopping and restaurants. The guest cottage was very well appointed and we also loved having an outdoor shower. I would highly recommend this property.
What a great little cottage for families! We loved our stay here and the owner is fantastic and super communicative. The golf cart is fast (not always common with rentals) and there was plenty of kitchen goods to cook most meals here. Very close to East Beach accesses and tucked away in nature. I would suggest bringing a fan for the crofter as the unit stays fairly warm. We had a great stay!

Thank you Alex! We enjoyed hosting your family as one of our first guests! We love the location, being so close to East Beach, Shoals Club, and Mike’s Bites/Turtle Conservancy. We had the A/C unit in the guest cottage looked at when we were down last week, and it was set on “air clean” mode rather than cool. We also had a smart thermostat installed so we can adjust/troubleshoot remotely if needed. We did bring a fan as well should anyone want that too. We’d love to have you all back for another visit! Chrissie
My family and I spent a few days at this home and I would highly recommend it! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated and well organized. It was well stocked with anything you may need including beach towels and lots of great beach accessories. Only a short distance to the beautiful South Beach access by golf cart or bike. The host was extremely helpful and very communicative.
